What’s in it for you?

1. Cisco 360 Partner Program
Under this program, partners earn recognition and rewards based on how they deliver customer outcomes. They can access financial incentives including rebates, discounts, and rewards like advantaged pricing and seller rewards.

Why should you collaborate with Cisco?

Cisco’s partner ecosystem is going through a major evolution with the rollout of the 360 Partner Program. Rather than legacy titles (Gold, Premier, Select), partners will be evaluated per portfolio via a Partner Value Index (PVI) in four categories (Foundational, Capabilities, Performance, Engagement).

There is a large investment by Cisco in partner education and training — for example, about USD 80 million dedicated to skill development under this new program, with new resources and specializations especially around AI, security, networking.

Because 90% of Cisco’s business runs through its partner ecosystem, being part of the program means access to wide market reach, technical enablement, go-to-market support, specialization credentials, and incentive-driven profitability.
